Tasmania walking tours

Our Tasmania walking and hiking trips range from long walks to wilderness hikes.

Trips like trekking the Cradle Mountain Overland Track are best suited for experienced hikers who are comfortable with multiple consecutive days of hiking in all conditions and over varied terrain.

For walking trips like Bruny Island and the Bay of Fires, you should be comfortable walking long distances, but you won’t come across anything too challenging or technical and there will be time built in to recover.

Please refer to the Essential Trip Information for more detailed information about your hiking trip of choice.

Our walking trips offer easier terrain than our treks but still require long days of walking. Trips like walking Tasmania’s Tarkine and Cradle Mountain feature a mix of short, gentle walks and longer days but if you’re comfortable walking far distances – up to 14 km – you’ll be fine, even as a beginner.

Tasmania enjoys fairly nice weather all year around with mild summers and cold to freezing winters that result in snow-dusted landscapes in some areas. This means that the best time to go on a walking tour in Tasmania depends on what type of weather you want to experience.

If you want the days to feature clear blue skies and warming sunshine, then travelling during the months of September to February is the way to go. If you want crispier, mild weather and autumn colours, the months of March to August are a great time to hit the trails.

Depends on which trip you choose! Our walking and hiking trips in Tasmania offer a variety of accommodation, from cottages to hotels, cabins and bush camping.

All our active trips in Tasmania bring you right inside its rugged natural beauty. The scenery will differ by trip, but expect to see a mix of lush trails, waterfalls, coastline, mountain peaks, red rocky landscapes, timbered forest, creeks and lakes, temperate rainforests, and maybe even migrating whales, if you’re lucky!

There’s no wrong way to hike, but with a small group you can share the experience, make new friends, have built-in security and feel supported every step of the way.

Popular trails can get crowded, but a local leader will guide you to quieter spots and share insights into the area’s history, culture and nature, providing more than just the views.

With someone else handling the logistics, you can truly unplug – no maps, no stress – just focus on the hike and connect with the people and places around you.

Plus, there’s safety in numbers, and a little encouragement can go a long way on the trail.
